Hey , I am giving my own interpretation of these lines and I hope my explanation will satisfies you
_____________________________

It is Emly Dickinson's poem.

The poet means by "he ate and drank the precious words" that by reading the words in the book he is deeply affected. He appears to be eating words means deeply affected by the different connotations of the words and his life, appears to be changing for him.

He also feels intoxicated by drinking words mean he is so engrossed in the words that he forgets about his real life like a drunk man. He forgets his poorness and other life concerns.
